After consulting Arttenders for her final research paper, Nimisha Bothra was finally certain of her career choice. She decided that starting her own art consultancy company was the way to go! She approached Arttenders to become her mentors. Together they form a consortium to work on Indian area development projects in her hometown Jodhpur, and beyond. Together with her mutually talented sister Nehal Bothra, they founded a startup and named it ‘Reverie’.

Nimisha and Nehal Bothra are both from Jodhpur, the second largest city in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Jodhpur is also nicknamed The Blue City, after the world-renowned old part of town, that is painted in a typical blue color. This color helps lower the temperatures in the blistering heat of the surrounding Thar-desert

Nimisha got acquainted with Arttenders through writing her thesis for the UCL in London, where she was an IT and Management undergraduate. She talked to Arttenders’ Faye Ellen about our business for her research on how the corporate market works together with creatives. Nimisha came out of her research knowing that there are many opportunities in India for a creative agency. Nimisha and her sister have asked Arttenders to act as their personal business consultant, whilst exploring several project options in their home region.
